I am in total agreement with you. Trump will build the wall.
I was researching the wall between India and Bangladesh and it has been so successful (modeled after the Israeli wall between Israel and Palestine) that they are now in the process of a wall between them and Pakistan, and envision one between them and Myanmar. We’re talking thousands of miles.
If it didn’t break the bank in India, of all places, then it is an easy build job for the USA. And, as you’ve said, Trump is by trade a builder. I heard him say last week that it’s far harder to build a skyscraper. (Words to that effect). I agree. How hard can a wall be? (I can buy a fence around my acreage if I want to. I wouldn’t bankrupt, and it would keep the neighbor kids away from a few danger spots I’m aware of, and it would lessen my liability...I think I’ve just talked myself into it. LOL.)
Israel swears by theirs, and those wanting to get in have a rabid, fanatical desire to kill Israelis and would get in if it were easy. It must not be easy.
I, too, believe he’ll build it, and one way or another he’ll be able to have the Mexicans pay for it. I suspect he’s speaking of tariffs.
I didn’t know about the wall between India and Bangladesh. Fascinating. As you said, if India can do it, surely so can the USA. We have been decimated by nearly 7 yrs of Obama, yet not to the point that we can’t even build a wall, surely. Where there’s a will there’s a way/wall.
I do have high hopes for this election. Carter was so bad, the country wanted something better in his wake. It’s a different country now, thanks to leftist public schools and changing demographics. Otoh, Obama has been exponentially worse than Carter. The time feels right for a major course correction. With Jeb sinking like a stone through water, all signs look auspicious.
And when Trump does build the wall and have the Mexicans pay for it,I think a lot of people are going to have a party—a whale of a big party—to celebrate “I told you so.”
